| Matt
10:1-16
1 And having summoned his twelve disciples, he gave them authority
over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease
and every kind of sickness. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in
the way of the gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;
6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7
And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.
Freely you received, freely give. 9 Do not acquire gold, or silver,
or copper for your money belts, 10 or a bag for your journey,
or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. 14 Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out
of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom
and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. |
Mark
6:7-11; 3:13-19
6:7 And he summons the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 3:13 And we went up on the mountain and summoned those whom he himself
wanted, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve, in order
that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach,
15 and to have authority to cast out the demons. Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17 and James, the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which
means, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,
and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him 6:8 and he instructed them that they should take nothing for their
journey, except a mere staff – no bread, no bag, no money in their belt
– 10 And he said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until
you leave town. 11 Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go
out from there, shake the dirt off the soles of your feet for a testimony
against them.” |
Luke
9:1-5; 6:12-16; 10:2-12
9:1 And having called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority
over all the demons and to heal diseases. 6:12 It was at this time that he went off to the mountain to pray,
and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. 13 And when day
came, he called his disciples to him[self] and chose twelve of them,
whom he also named as apostles: 14 Simon, whom he also named Peter,
and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
15 and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who
was called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot,
who became a traitor. 9:2 And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and
to perform healing. 10:4 Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the
way. 10:2 And he was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the
laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send
out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go; behold, I send you out as lambs
in the midst of wolves. |
(Matthew combines material from three
pericopes, two of which are found in Luke and Mark separated from each other,
and one of which is found Luke separated from the other two. In other words,
in Matt 10:1-16, there are parallels to material in Mark 3:13-19 = Luke 6:12-16;
Mark 6:7-11 = Luke 9:1-5; Luke 10:2-12.)
| Luke 10:1-12
1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. 5 "When you enter a house, first say, `Peace to this house.' 6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. 8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, `The kingdom of God is near you.' 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 `Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. |
